Thrillema is back! And we're hosting a screening of DETENTION. Written by Halifax writer Mark Palermo and director Joseph Kahn. The film has been making waves at film festivals, and is now finally going to open in a couple theatres in Canada. Luckily, Halifax is one of them!

After the screening there will be a Q&A with director Joseph Kahn and screenwriter Mark Palermo.

"DETENTION is DONNIE DARKO on speed. Lots and lots of speed. A film that riffs equally on John Hughes and John Carpenter, it intertwines the angst-ridden, postmodern teen comedy with slasher and sci-fi elements, and then ramps the tempo of it all up to a dizzying pace." -Todd Brown
